Though there are anti-bullying laws on the books, cyberbullying is not included, and therefore – basically – legal in Oklahoma. But now a state senator is trying to close that loophole to protect kids from bullying online.

I agree that something should be done! I was recently cyber bullied by a couple of guys on Facebook. Embarrassing photos were photo shopped of me and I cried for hours about this and it still hurts, but if it wasn’t for God and knowing he loves me always and that he’s placed so many others in my life that love me I didn’t try to kill myself or physically hurt myself, BUT there are other teens/people out there that do think about such terrible things! It must be stopped! So please, please! Do something about this!
